Private

I watch as Coraline takes a few steps forward, tears filling her eyes, my heart fucking sinks. She takes notice at the drop in my face, she comes closer and hands me the test before saying "These are happy tears Domenico! The lines are actually darker than they were on the first test. I grab her and wrap my arms around her waist pulling her into a hug, holding her as tightly as I can without hurting her.

That means this is for real, I'm going to be a dad! And then it dawns on me, is she going to want to raise our child in this lifestyle. I can't help the intrusive thoughts of the million scenarios going on and most ending badly. I push the thoughts away as I snuggle her a bit tighter knowing shes the one for me.

*Coraline's POV*

I stand here in front of the bed with Doms arms wrapped around me tightly, soaking up his love. He said he loves me, and I can't help but be head over heels, what woman wouldn't be? Sure he's a killer, but he's such a good man, to me, his family... I wonder if he'd leave this life behind him, start over with me and our child... What if I stayed? Could I live this dangerous lifestyle, while raising our child?

I run my fingers through his hair as I ask him "Are we going to have privacy on this getaway... I'm in no shape to be seen Dom!" He sets me on his lap before responding "Yes Amorè, even the flight is private! We'll be taking my private plane!" This makes my heart happy, I looked at myself while waiting on the test... They fucked me up! Ryan the worst. The knots on my head have gone down quite a bit but the bruising is getting worse.

We spend the next few hours packing a few bags and discussing everything, fine tuning the little details. Dom tells me that he'll be right outside the door, I hear him talking to Vinny but I can't hear what they're discussing. I grab the test strip that was laid on the nightstand and just stare at it. I just can't believe it's finally happening, and if Dom is half as great with our little one as he is with Gabi... We'll be lucky to have him.

I feel arms hug me from the back, and soft lips on my neck before hearing "I just got the last detail taken care of Amorè, we are clear for take-off Miss Delacroix!" Dom says as he spins me around and places a soft kiss on my nose. My heart just melts. I really do love this man with my whole being, I've spent almost a month with this man and my life has done a 180.

I never knew I needed rescuing until the blindfold was lifted. Ryan, a clean cut, wealthy Wallstreet, 'tidy' family was one of the worst kind of scum to walk the earth. Domenico, rough around the edges, a criminal, mafia boss, Has a heart of gold. Weird, how wrong we can be judging people off looks and first appearances. All I know I love this man and I'm finally home.

The next morning I open my eyes and it's still pretty early, the morning rays are still on their way up. I wake up feeling something new, a feeling of having something to live for, pure love and happiness! I sneakily get out of bed as to not wake Dom up, and I head down to the kitchen. I rummage through a few areas before finding a stash of tea, I put some water on and look for a few ingredients in the meantime.

I have the island filled with all the ingredients I need for my French breakfast puffs, I find the pan I need and I start the process, making my vanilla Chai in-between, Chai my favorite. I get the pan in the oven and sip my tea at the island while they cook.

I hear frantic, heavy footsteps stomping down the staircase, they make their way into the kitchen before I hear "Don't scare me like that Coraline!" Dom says in a growl before making his way to me. I giggle and apologize before saying "Sorry love, We got hungry" I watch as Dom sits down next me asking what I made. I tell him and his brows furrow, "I've never heard of it, I'll have to join you for breakfast" He says in a low tone.

I hear the timer go off as I get up to finish the recipe. I can feel his eyes follow my body with every move I make. When I'm finished I bring a plate over with a few puffs on it, I watch as his eyes light up with the first bite. "Coraline this is delicious, definitely going to need this as often as I can get em!" I laugh as I too dig in, my obsession with cinnamon sugar has always been there. It's so good.

We finish off our plate and Dom grabs my hand to stand me up before lifting me up and carrying me up to our room. He sets me down on the bed and tells me we should start getting ready for the ride. I'm nervous as I've never flown before, but the way my life has been lately I think I can handle it.

A few hours later we're in the backseat of the rover and we're on our way. I'm hand in hand with Dom with my free hand holding my stomach. I've never been happier in my life, Dom kisses my hand as we approach the plane. It's beautiful, we park as the men load up the luggage. Dom opens the door and extends his hand out for me, I take it as we walk up to the stairs leading to the inside of the plane.

I take the short walk up the steps and walk into the most beautiful sight, white marble and gold accents of course. The seats are fluffy and look like I could sink into them. A fully loaded plane, enough luxury for a lifetime. I take a seat and Dom takes his rightful place beside me. He turns to me and says ..

"I have a few more surprises awaiting for you Amorè I hope you're ready!" He gets a flicker in his eyes with the words he saying. I lay my head on his shoulder as we begin to take off, Our getaway starts now!
